Hmmmm, the fact that someone gets the pass right with only "8 characters, 5 being letters" amazes me.

"Hmmmm, the fact that someone gets the pass right with only "8 characters, 5 being letters" amazes me."

Brute force password hacks are super easy when you know something simple about the password like that.  This shows why it is so important that passwords be random characters and not have any connection to anything.

It was the 3 numbers that allowed me to guess it.

Guess: Miyamoto

I think that's how you spell it...

Edit:  Hehe, posted at the same time.

Oh, gee. This is tough. It would have been fine if "Miyamoto" was incorrect. But, hmmm. Maybe you two could play Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Well, yes, ¥tterbiJúm and I did post during the same minute, but we didn't post at precisely the same time. I think that our posts were separated by at least a few seconds because after I posted and reloaded the page to see how it appeared, ¥tterbiJúm's post did not show up. So, if you consider timing of greater accuracy than the minutes-but-not-seconds markings on our posts, then I did answer first.



However, if you don't really like that sound of that, then it'd be fine with me to pick a number between 1 and 10 (or something). I suppose doing that would be kind of appropriate for this topic, anyway.

Red Paratroopa, we need you to decide.
 (:please don't let this game die:)

I suggest giving it to Watoad since he technically replied first. (even if it was less than a minute before the next reply)  The second reply was edited any way.  I don't think anyone cheated, but we should make a rule that posts with guesses can't be edited.  That way there won't be any misunderstanding.

If you want maybe they could email you a rock, paper, or scissor.

They should practice first though.  RPS is a very high level strategy game. !)

Practice here:

Good Luck!

EDIT: "thes" corrected to "this".  Same finger, different hand.
EDIT: Edit my first edit to change "correct" to "corrected".  My attempt to document my edits is quickly becoming too much of a hassle.  I had to change 3 things in the previous sentence.  Man, I should just give up and type like uvg.

Okay, I have one. It doesn't seem to make sense to begin anywhere other than the number of characters in the password, so that's where I'll start.

Hint #1: There are 14 characters, each of which is either a letter or a space.

Luigison didn't say that spaces aren't allowed, so I went ahead and used one/some. More hints shall come later, of course—unless some crazy person can guess it already.

Guess:  Princess Peach
